Previous Chapter

The mane 6 sit in their thrones with looks of sorrow. Their manes rather disheveled, Pinkie's being straight. They just sit there, in utter silence. All the sudden Rainbow Dash speaks up "I wish I was kinder to him...."

"You didn't treat him like your personal slave." Twilight snaps bitterly and looks up at her. Rainbow puts her head down ashamed. They once again sit in silence.

"Why couldn't I have just given him a chance?" Rarity sighs. Apple Jack looks as though she has something on her mind as well.

"I almost never talked to him.... I practically pretended he didn't exist!" Pinkie Pie sobs and curls into a little ball. Apple Jack and Fluttershy and Apple Jack look like they have something on their minds as well. Fluttershy just collapses and starts sobbing.

"Ah just can't stand any more of this atmosphere! Ah got things to do. Ah can cry while I do my chores! This ain't no reason to make other ponies go hungry nah is it?" Apple Jack says reluctantly. Pinkie Pie looks up all the sudden. "Just look at us all! Just sittin here. He got things we still gotta do! Even if a beloved friend has left us...." They all look at her. "Lookin at some uh ya'll, I just don't know who you are any more.... Ah Can't stand it!"

"Why Apple Jack. I think you're right. Look at us! We've turned into monsters!" Rarity agrees. "I recognize nopony that I have EVER known." Rarity looks into all of their eyes.

"So this is it. The end of harmony...." Rainbow Dash looks back down.

"Can we at least do something in honor of Spike?" Twilight asks hopefully. Pinkie Pie starts laughing maniacally. "Pardon me, but what humor do you find in my request?"

"I know what we can do in his honor.... Why don't we play a game?" Pinkie smiles.

"A game?" Twilight asks suspiciously.

"Ya.... A game. You win by being the last alive...." Pinkie says darkly

"Is that all? Seems simple enough. So we just wait until we a-" Twilight breaks off realizing that's not exactly what Pinkie meant. "I can't kill anypony here!" Pinkie smiles.

"You'd be surprised what fear and depression can do to you...." Pinkie laughs. "If you're in, put your hoof in!" *Pinkie holds her hoof out and 5 hooves stack up on top of it.

"Now, you must all leave my castle!" Twilight commands. They bicker slightly then walk towards the exit.
